I hashtag all my frequently used projects (ie the task name is <ProjectName><#projnam> and then use the search. The progressive matching that search offers works well. And its also useful because the search results remain on view so if you navigate away from that project without finishing what you were doing, you can get back to it but clicking on the relevant row in the search results.
